IRON RIVER — The Michigan State Police has been requested by both the Iron River Police Department and the Iron County Sheriff’s Office to investigate an officer-involved shooting.
The shooting took place in Iron River on June 24 at approximately 3:30 p.m.
The incident occurred at a private residence where the agencies were responding to a 911 call regarding a “disturbance,” according to MSP Public Information Officer Lt. Derrick Carroll.
According to Carroll, there were two officers involved in the shooting, one from each agency.
The suspect, a 45-year-old male, was pronounced deceased at the scene. An autopsy was slated to be performed on June 25 in Grand Rapids, according to Carroll.
